Beyonce and Jay Z Buy a House in New Orleans

-
Power Play

As in the 1998 smash he made with Jermaine Dupri, Jay Z proves once again that money ain't a thang. He and wife Beyoncé recently purchased a historic 1925 mansion in New Orleans' romantic Garden District for a reasonable (for the Carters, anyway) $2.6 million. See details from inside La Casa de Castile.

New Nola Home

The property, which was first a Presbyterian church followed by a ballet studio, stretches across three stories.





Beyonce and Jay Z's Den
The 13,292-square-foot home features an open floor plan and hardwood floors in each of the property's three apartments.




In keeping with its opulent owners, a dining room features crimson walls and coordinating tufted-velvet chairs.









A finished closet provides ample room for Bey's endless parade of costumes and over-the-top dresses.





An intricately detailed vanity occupies a crimson-walled dressing area in the master bathroom.
























A claw-foot tub assumes pride of place in a tiled bathroom. (Insert obligatory surfbort reference here.)



























A built-in bookcase is an ideal place for the couples' impressive music collection.




Living Room
A white backdrop is punctuated with mustard walls and a soothing royal blue ceiling.


A cantilevered staircase leads to a well proportioned loft seating area. The high ceilings and hardwood floors in this loft make it the perfect spot for Beyoncé's late-night dance parties to tunes spun by Solange.


Dotted with discreet brass-and-wood fans, the house's 24-foot ceilings impart an airy vibe to the former church building. A neutral color palette in one of the house's living rooms create a feeling of expansiveness. Richly detailed columns and crown molding nod to the house's historic past.


The Carters' new rooftop garden is said to be one of the biggest in New Orleans.







Crimson-hued carpeted floors match rouge walls in one of the property's three master bedrooms.



Kitchen
Will this light-filled kitchen serve as inspiration for a sequel to "Drunk In Love?"















Kim and Kanye might be more at home in this rust-colored guest room.

The house's seven bedrooms will likely provide plenty of space for the Carters' roster of famous friends, including Gwyneth and Tay Swift.



A half-wall divides sleeping and living areas in one of the house's three apartments.

Nola Kitchen 

 Among the rooms to be renovated with the couple's signature decadent style: this streamlined kitchen outfitted with rustic wood cabinetry.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-
Image
“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Take a tour of Tyler Perry's massive new studio on a former Army base in Atlanta, Georgia

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
